John Schlitt - Don't Look Back lyrics

(Luke 9:62; Matt. 8:22; I John 1:9) Every morning as I look into the mirror Yesterday's mistakes are so painfully clear I could let them take me under Be a source of misery Or I could understand the power Of the blood that's shed for me Often I'm reminded that there's nothing we can do That would take away the sacrifice for me and you So when you feel the guilt of the enemy's attack Just know you've been forgiven and don't look back (Don't look back) Yesterday is over, today is a brand new day (Don't look back) It's not the answer, no it's not the way (Chorus) You can't go forward when you keep looking back How can you think about the future When you're haunted by the past? God don't want you to live like that Put your hand to the plow and don't look back I know the straight and narrow is the path that I should see Yet I'm often tempted by the way it used to be Seems like only good times keep flashing through my brain But then I stop and I remember The cost, all the pain (Don't look back) Those old temptations were never good for you (Don't look back) There's nothing there that can help you get through (Chorus) Why do we dig up the old man When there's so much ahead? Why can't we do what Jesus said And let the dead bury the dead? (Don't look back) Yesterday is over, today is a brand new day (Don't look back) It's not the answer, no it's not the way (Chorus 2x's)
